Ochocinco tweets during game

Chad Ochocinco is never at a loss for words -- even after getting clobbered on the football field. So naturally, once he cleared his head and was safely seated on the Cincinnati Bengals bench during Friday's exhibition against the Philadelphia Eagles, Ochocinco tweeted.

Yep, he shared his thoughts with the world while on the bench. Talking to teammates, it seems, is nothing when there's a universe hanging on his every thumbed word.

Back up a second and here's what happened: During the third quarter of Friday’s contest, which Cincinnati won, Ochocinco was out of the game when the urge struck. He was relating his reaction to a play in which he tried to make a tough catch and was drilled by the Eagles' Dimitri Patterson and Stewart Bradley.

Ochocinco tipped the ball while being hit, and Quintin Mikell made the interception.

It was a tough night for Ochocinco, who was involved in two plays that became interceptions. On the first, it appeared he blew a route and quarterback Carson Palmer's pass went directly to Patterson. Palmer raised both arms in a quizzical gesture toward Ochocinco, and talked to him on the sideline.

On the second pick, Ochocinco was bracketed by coverage and Palmer tried to squeeze a pass to him. Tip, hit and pick followed. As the play ended, Ochocinco lay on his back for several seconds, then popped up and jogged to the sideline without assistance.
